| Title | Über die Umsetzung von Kupfersulfat mit Carbonsäuren und Carbonsäurederivaten in wäßrigen Lösungen unter hydrothermalen Bedingungen The Reaction of Copper Sulfate with Carboxylic Acids and their Derivatives in Aqueous Solutions under Hydrothermal Conditions  | ||
| Abstract | Under hydrothermal conditions aqueous solutions of copper(II) sulfate (1) are reduced by means of saturated fatty acids with hydrogen at the a-atom to yield crystalline copper. In all cases carbon dioxide is liberated and lower fatty acids and ketones can be identified as reaction prod-ucts. a-Hydroxy and a-aminocarboxylic acids proved to be very effective reducing agents towards 1. The yield of copper varied from 2 to 2.5 mol Cu per 1 mol of amino acid. The reaction of 1 is suppressed by sulfuric acid. The presence of hydrochlorid acid or chlorides leads to the precipita-tion of copper(I) chloride. The mechanisms of the decomposition of the various types of carboxy-lic acids is discussed. It was also possible to precipitate metallic copper by means of various proteins. | ||
